7/4

Salome Dances for Peace and 'Variations on Shri Camel as duets, that would be an interesting release. I've heard of the string quartets on Cadenza on the Night Plain and Salome existing as arrangements for piano and string qt. - wouldn't mind hearing those.

My fave albums with Terry Riley on orgone: Shri Camel A Rainbow in Curved Air Last Camel There's a few others *, but these are my choice picks (for now). * Happy Ending (aka Les Yeux Fermes), Persian Surgery Dervishes, Le Secret de la Vie (aka Lifespan?), The Descending Moonshine Dervishes.

First, you have to admit you are powerless over the internet and your life has become unmanageable. * * my apologies to anyone actually in a 12step program...

Internet addiction is a 'clinical disorder' By Andy Bloxham Last updated: 2:44 PM BST 20/06/2008 Obsessive internet use is a public health problem which is so serious it should be officially recognised as a clinical disorder, according to a leading psychiatrist. Sufferers spend unhealthy amounts of time playing online games, viewing pornography or emailing. They suffer four symptoms: They forget to eat and sleep; they need more advanced technology or more hours online as they develop 'resistance' to the pleasure given by their current system; if they are deprived of their computer, they experience genuine withdrawal symptoms; And in common with other addictions, the victims also begin to have more arguments, to suffer fatigue, to get lower marks in tests and to feel isolated from society. Gadget addiction: The symptoms Early research into the subject found highly educated, socially awkward men were the most likely sufferers but more recent work suggests it is now more of a problem for middle-aged women who are spending hours at home on their computers. Psychiatrist Dr Jerald Block said some sufferers were so addicted to the internet that they required medication or even hospital treatment to curb the time they spent on the web. He said: "The relationship is with the computer. It becomes a significant other to them. They exhaust emotions that they could experience in the real world on the computer through any number of mechanisms: emailing, gaming, porn." He added: "It's much more acceptable for kids to talk about game use, whereas adults keep it a secret. Rather than having sex, or arguing with their wife or husband, or feeding their children, these adults are playing games." Dr Block, of the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, in the USA, first made the claims in an editorial for the American Journal of Psychiatry. British psychiatrists have previously reported that between five and 10 per cent of online users are internet addicts. uh oh...

Upcoming release on Tzadik: - Braxton, Graves, Parker: Beyond Quantum [#7626] Anthony Braxton, Milford Graves and William Parker are quite literally three of the most important virtuoso instrumentalists in new music, each a vivid conceptualist as well an influential composer/performer. This intense improvisational outing features them at their best: excited, inspired and in complete communication. Recorded and mixed by musical alchemist Bill Laswell, sparks fly in this important and historic meeting of creative music masters. looks interesting...

If you do not have Pi, you are stupid ass-donkey moron who no like jazz. .

Classic! I remember that one...

Some of the best ones I can't repost! But here's similar thread: Best Post of 2006, Humor Category

Baffling they say, but I think they look cool. It figures that aliens would be into Pi.

oooh...now eight. edit - here they are: Michael Brecker- Michael Brecker- Impulse 1987 Live in Paris- Circle, ECM 1971 Soapsuds, soapsuds- Ornette Coleman and Charlie Haden, Verve 1977 Nashville- Bill Frisell, Nonesuch 1998 Stan Getz & Bill Evans- Stan Getz and Bill Evans, Verve 1964 Bright size life- ¨Pat Metheny, ECM 1975 Believe it- The new Tony Williams Lifetime, Columbia 1975 Unity- Larry Young, Blue Note 1965

Some of Bill Laswells music is/was influenced by that era of Miles. I can't think of anything specifically, there's a Yahoo list you could check with. There is a "remix/reconstruction" of some of that music PANTHALASSA - THE MUSIC OF MILES DAVIS 1969-1974 by Laswell.

I think it's because she wasn't a Hammond player - on Illuminations, she is credited with Wurlitzer orgone. Alice Coltrane Ascension Ceremony

In another thread and I think it was deleted.

June 19, 2008 Music Review Hymns and Blues in the Name of Family By BEN RATLIFF One of the revelations of “A Tribute to Alice Coltrane,” the JVC Jazz Festival concert on Tuesday night at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, was a short film clip of Ms. Coltrane playing piano in Paris in 1959. She was smiling, running through fast bebop with the drummer Kenny Clarke and the saxophonist Lucky Thompson, and skating through the chord changes. At the time she was learning from Bud Powell, and her playing showed it. After she moved from Paris back to her hometown, Detroit, and then to New York in 1962, met and married John Coltrane, she was still playing those continuous, blanketing lines on the piano. But they were staying in single chords for much longer, and sounded more like the harp, an instrument she took up as well. Those long arpeggios remained in Ms. Coltrane’s music until her death last year. Tuesday’s concert elegantly condensed her family, her interests and some of her better music into two hours. There was her son Ravi Coltrane on saxophone. There was an improvising harpist, Brandee Younger. There was a well-chosen pianist, Geri Allen, also from the Detroit area. (She also occasionally used a Korg Triton synthesizer, the same kind Ms. Coltrane played in later years, using the same ersatz orchestral pre-set.) There was a musician on tablas and tamboura, Ed Feldman, a reminder that Ms. Coltrane made music for Vedic meditation for about half her life, eventually founding an ashram in Southern California. And there were the bassist Charlie Haden and the drummer Jack DeJohnette, who played on some of her early records. For some listeners there’s a danger of mysticism overload with Ms. Coltrane’s music. Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette are instant antidotes. Mr. Haden plays in a mysterious ballad style, as she did, but it comes out as the opposite: plain-spoken and boiled-down. Mr. DeJohnette used a low-slung groove for the minor-key blues pieces, and elsewhere played colors as much as rhythms, with a few dozen different kinds of cymbal pings and splashes. This was music with an intention of great, heaving generality — Ms. Coltrane would have called it universality — but Mr. Haden and Mr. DeJohnette grounded it in specific, isolated mechanics of rhythm and melody. They kept it diverting. The band mostly played selections from Ms. Coltrane’s 1970s records, including “Blue Nile,” “Journey in Satchidananda” and “Los Caballos,” and then a few pieces from her final album, “Translinear Light,” released in 2004. The theater is a churchlike space with a high ceiling, and as the band started the first of many long vamps it sounded vague and wet. The piano and much of the bass were lost in the acoustics of the space. But then the band self-corrected, played a little more quietly, and the concert turned around completely. Ms. Coltrane used to hire some very strong and loud saxophonists; her husband had been a model for that. But her son is a much more careful and pinpointed player, and here and there, as he played long tones in the blues and hymns, he sounded more respectfully pretty than cathartic. Gradually, though, he warmed up, putting in some of his own jagged phrasing; by “Journey in Satchidananda,” at the end, he was playing the soprano saxophone hard enough that it sounded tense and alive.

They've had me on automatic update all along so I've been using 3.0 for a while on Win XP.

It looks the same to me. Did you folks upgrade from version 1.001 maybe? .

Now 7/4 has tool bar envy......methinks you have a different operating system than 7/4. .

I ain't got no such tool bar. .

What little doodads you talkin' 'bout? I ain't got no doodads.

Allergic to alcohol. .

And I have browser envy. I have 3.0 and I want that upgrade buzz. I didn't even notice when it happened, it was so different. .
